Sunset Balos Catamaran luxury *small* group cruise+cocktail
Sunset Balos feels like a secret. This small-group catamaran evening trip pairs an easy cruise with time at a sea-only beach, then wraps it up with drinks on the way back. You get a relaxed 4-hour window, English service, and a crew that keeps the day running smoothly.
I especially like the included onboard treats: cookies and cakes plus espresso coffee right when you settle in. You also get unlimited cold bottled water, beer and house wine, and even a skipper’s cocktail for the return.
One thing to consider is that it’s an adult-only experience, and it’s not recommended for kids under 16. Also, the trip depends on good weather, since it’s not the kind of plan you want to force in rough seas.
